Amanda, Paddy and Gogo welcomed us with huge smiles and true African love filled warmth. The hot weather played along and from the refreshing cordial upon arrival, a wander around the exquisite garden, the games in the pool and a long G&T for me, the start to our stay was 15/10 perfect!

We spent 2 delightful days at Amanda's and Paddy's home. Situated on the hills with a beautiful view on the surroundings, the cottage we stayed in, turned out to be really cozy and we immediately felt at home! Well equipped with 2 double bedrooms a bathroom with double shower (nice to take a shower together!) and well furnished kitchen. The...

From the moment we arrived we were spoilt and pampered by Amanda and Paddy and their household staff. umSisi House was the perfect place to base ourselves as we explored the Panorama Route, elephant sanctuary and elephant whisperers. The food was superb, matched with delicious wines and we will be wanting a number of the recipes when we return home....

As always it is our pleasure to have you all here at umSisi! Hopefully we will be able to continue your Lowveld food journey next year...

Set in 60 hectares of pristine bush, within the Jock of the Bushveld Conservancy, umSisi House is strategically located in the Peebles Valley between the town of White River and the Numbi Gate entrance to the southern Kruger Park (15 minutes away). We offer a personal service that only a very small, privately owned and managed, five-star, luxury country house can provide. umSisi House is the perfect destination for groups of friends and family wishing to visit South Africa’s Kruger Lowveld region, the Panorama Route and enjoy the many adventure activities available in the immediate area. The house only caters for private groups (between 4 and 10 people) on either (a) a dinner, bed and breakfast basis or (b) a full board (all inclusive) basis. It is particularly suitable for those looking for luxury accommodation near the Kruger Park. A booking service for local activities (including bespoke Kruger safaris in open game-viewers) is also provided. All meals are planned with guests in advance to ensure that the dining experience is a daily highlight. TGCSA 5-Star Country House....more less
